Rocking a hoodie, backward hat and sunglasses, Tiger Woods arrived in Ireland, landing at Adare Manor, site of the 36-hole J.P. McManus Pro-Am, via helicopter for his one and only tune up ahead of the 150th British Open.
Woods has done his best to ghost the world since he withdrew from the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in May after gutting out another made cut at a major and shooting 79 on Saturday in cold, dreary weather. Given the obvious pain he was dealing with, Woods had little to gain in playing the final round. His chase of his 16th major triumph would have to wait. Then he elected to skip the U.S. Open in June in order to give his body more time to prepare for the easier walk at the flatter Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland, where he claimed two of his three Claret Jugs in 2000 and 2005.
